Topics1:  Bioslurry fuels from biomass pyrolysis

Brief Biography:
Professor Hongwei Wu is the head of Discipline  of Chemical Engineering, Western Australian School of Mines:  Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering, Curtin University,  Australia. At Curtin, Prof. Wu leads a sizable research group  dedicated to fundamental studies into thermochemical processing of  various fuels, particularly coal, biomass, biomass-derived fuels  (e.g. bio-oil, biochar, bioslurry). Since 2018, Prof Wu has been  serving as the Associated Editor of Energy & Fuels – a journal  published by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Recently, Prof. Wu  has also received the inaugural 2018 Curtin Awards for Excellence in  Higher Degree by Research Supervision.

Research Interests:
